Build detailed flowline networks and hydro-enforced DEMs.

WaterWise produces high-resolution hydrologic networks from USGS 3DEP lidar, delivering clean, connected drainage networks, hydro-enforced terrain surfaces, and classified flowlines and polygons for modeling, mapping, and engineering workflows.

WaterWise staff bring extensive experience processing lidar and developing elevation-derived hydrography (EDH) aligned with 3DHP specifications.

This is our core offering: beyond deriving the network itself, we integrate it into the hydrologic and hydraulic models that drive watershed analysis, floodplain studies, and water management decisions — connecting cleanly to frameworks such as HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, and MODFLOW.
